Hey Beautiful!
Spring has sprung, and with it comes a fresh wave of beauty trends that are all about celebrating our radiant melanin, embracing our grown-woman glow, and enhancing our natural features. Whether you’re updating your makeup bag or simply want to try something new this season, I’ve got you covered.
Let’s talk about what’s hot in April—and how you can make it your own, Sis.
1. Skin is IN – Glowing, Hydrated, and Melanin-Powered
This season is all about skin that shines from within. For us over-50 beauties, that means lightweight, hydrating skin tints and foundations that show off our natural complexion.
Product Picks:
-
Black Opal True Color Skin Perfecting Stick Foundation
These formulas offer a soft-focus finish while letting your skin breathe.
2. Glossy, Juicy Lips with a Defined Edge
The 90s lip is back—but grown and sexy! Think brown or plum lip liners paired with glossy nudes and pinks. It’s fresh, feminine, and gives lips a fuller, youthful vibe.
Must-Haves:
3. Warm Earth-Tone Blush That Pops on Deep Skin
Blush is back in a big way, and warm hues like burnt orange, terracotta, and berry bring out the richness in melanin beautifully. It adds life to your face and softens the skin’s texture.
Try These:
4. Softly Defined Brows + Chocolate or Plum Liner
No more harsh black eyeliner—we’re lifting and softening the eye with smudged chocolate, plum, or burgundy liners. Paired with softly shaped brows, it creates an elegant, effortless eye.
Top Picks:
5. Radiant Setting Powders Made for Melanin
No ashy finishes here, Sis. Banana, bronze, and terracotta-toned powders are setting our makeup without stealing our glow.
Go-To Powders:
6. Bold but Wearable Color – Jewel-Toned Eyes
Eyeshadows in emerald, copper, bronze, and deep purple are making a bold comeback—perfect for adding glam without going overboard. These tones look divine on deep complexions.
Try These Palettes:
7. Skincare-Infused Makeup for Mature Skin
Makeup that doubles as skincare? Yes, please. Look for ingredients like squalane, niacinamide, and hyaluronic acid that hydrate, plump, and smooth.
